Preface

Warning

This manual uses the term Warning to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could

result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the

navigation system to all available navigation sources, including

information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety,

always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing

navigation.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted

by the navigation system while driving, and always be fully aware of

all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the

screen of the navigation system while driving and use voice prompts

when possible.

Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any functions

requiring prolonged use of the navigation system’s controls while

driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such

operations.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or

reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional

information, refer to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

iv GVN 52 Owner’s Manual

Preface

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may

result in injury or property damage.

The navigation system is designed to provide you with route

suggestions. It does not reect road closures or road conditions, trafc

congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or

timing while driving.

Use the navigation system only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt

to use the navigation system for any purpose requiring precise

measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United

States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and

maintenance. The government’s system is subject to changes which

could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment,

including the navigation system. Although the navigation system is a

precision navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or

misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

Caution

This manual uses the term Caution to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or property damage. It

may also be used without the symbol to alert you to avoid unsafe practices.

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to

us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages

displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map

information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
